Milfy, how much do the Apex springs lower it by ?

Are you going to go for 17's at some stage ?

I have been painstakingly refurbing some 17's, 12 arm, off a Stilo I think? Now I have it lowered, I don't know whether to put them on or not, it looks pretty good on the 16's.

I might put them on, take some photo's and ask for an opinion on here....

they say 35 mm all round so will post up piccys when done
still on 15,s at the moment so will scrub these tyres then look at changing wheels

35mm will look good, the 25mm I went for improves the looks and drive immensely, I reckon the 35mm will be better again in both respects.

we shall wait and see also got the strutbrace kit fitted its made a differance already back wheel in the air already

does fitting any aftermarket kit affect the warranty in any way ?
also with the springs are you gonna change the camber\anything else or are you just going to rotate the tyres ?

Be interested to hear how far out they knock things, let us all know as I have still got to get mine done when I have the time....

I would expect the very minimum would be that the warranty is invalidated on all suspension parts.

However in many cases the dealer may turn a blind eye to mods if it mean they get the warranty work.

Only way to be 100% sure is ask Fiat, as it is their call.
Might be worth calling customer care if you are concerned, personally it would not deter me.
